Chocolate - the raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree - is so much more than its Wikipedia definition. Chocolate has a smell, a taste, a mouthfeel that awakens the senses. Think mole negro, chocolate con leche, chocolate con agua, chocolate atole, champurrado, tejate.
Todos estan invitados al nuestra celebración magna de chocolate y su papel importante en Oaxaca y todo México y el mundo.
Si no podrian venir en persona, haz tu propio chocolate oaxaqueño caliente o un plato de mole negro. En linea acompanarnos con comentarios, preguntas o tradicciones de 'chocolate' en otros idiomas. Busca los grupos en Flickar y regala los fotos que quieres una estrella.
Para nuestros amigos internacionales, Intentamos hacer webcast con livestreaming video Miercoles entre 5-6pm
